BROWN-BAG ON CONSENSUS IN DECISION-MAKING The Workplace Quality Committee
encourages all faculty, staff and students to consider these key questions:
What is consensus? How do we reach consensus? When is consensus appropriate?
A brown-bag seminar to explore these questions will be held on Tuesday,
April 9th from noon-1PM in the Forest Club room. The panel will feature
Martha Bean, Jim Agee and Clare Ryan. The topic is timely and relevant
to so much that is going on in our College at this time. Please mark your
calendars! For more information or input contact Cecilia Paul cece@u.washington.edu.

*****KUDOS*****
Kudos to Kelly O’Brian, Goldie Pontrelli and Patricia Gomez for their
work in December of 2001. They managed 3 conferences in three weeks that
served 322 attendees and 63 speakers. The events were spread between Seatac,
Bellevue, and San Juan Island. All of this was carried off during the
hectic holiday season. Thanks folks – good job!

*****ARBOR DAY FAIR NEEDS YOU!*****
Arbor Day Fair is just around the corner, May 1-3, 2002. Each year staff
and faculty, from throughout the college, contribute a couple of hours
of their time to making 2100+ children more aware of forestry, forest
products and the University of Washington. The CFR Arbor Day Fair has
received a national awards and special recognition in 1999 and 2001. This
kind of service to the public is something we are all proud of each year.
If you have not participated in a couple of years or are a new employee,
contact Don Theoe for a fun volunteer assignment.

*****Kudos*****
Kudos to Marc Morrison!!! As the Dean announced on 3/14, Marc prepared
and submitted a successful proposal to the Student Technology Fee program.
Marc's proposal was funded in the amount of $97,141 to purchase and install
new computing equipment in BLD 311. GO MARC!!!

It is revised for December 2001 and it is still the best quick reference
guide to forestry in Washington. Hard copies from the WFPA are available

RESEARCH NEWS
Summer chum return to Big Beef Creek in numbers not seen since '70s The
juvenile salmon released Monday from the University of Washington's Big
Beef Creek Fish Research Station are offspring of summer chum that returned
900-strong last year to the stream. Located near the town of Seabeck on
Hood Canal, Big Beef Creek's original run of summer chum went extinct
in 1984 after years of dwindling populations. For the first time in decades
hundreds of summer chum returned to Big Beef last fall. This follows five
years of work to re-establish the run, an effort involving the UW, Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the
citizens of the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group. http://www.washington.edu/newsroom/news/
